Yes it was the turning point. The effort made by half a dozen wakey players to get back was astonishing. Percival is quick, and he had a clear field, but when he passed to Grace, there were four Wakey players in the shot. They'd sprinted the full way. If they'd made the tackle then, I think they'd have gone on to win, but Grace scored a very good try going through them - he's extremely evasive in crowded places. As Ashurst said after the match, it must have been heartbreaking to make all that effort to get there only to still concede.

On such things games turn.

Oh no!!!

I suppose people can feel vindicated regarding Child's poor performance, but as I said earlier in the thread, it makes no difference now, still two points lost for Wakey.

Or maybe the heavy penalty count that went in Wakefields favour gave them an unfair advantage, he also disallowed 3 saints trys and the video ref overuled 2 of them, cuts both ways, poor performance indeed. Johnny Lomax will be happy if Child has been demoted, Johnny was getting cheesed off with Liam Finn bashing him around the head.

Are you really suggesting that Child has been stood down because of the penalty count?

Nothing to do with the two contentious decisions that he failed to send upstairs then. He may have disallowed some St's tries but at least he chose to have a second opinion, something that was not afforded to Wakefield.

I couldn't have put it better
